Windows 2022 ignoring WSUS Deadline Updates setting

Question

Hi,
I have recently added some windows server 2022 into my environment.
WSUS Windows Server 2022
AD Windows Server 2022.

and a few windows 2016 and 2019 around.

However I noticed that my new Windows Server 2022 are not installing updates as per the deadline set via WSUS servers. the other windows server 2016 and 2019 are working as expected but not 2022.
this is my GPO setting for WSUS.

anyone experiencing this issue? how do you resolve it so the deadline will work on windows 2022.

Answer 1

Hello there,

Are you performing the proper WSUS maintenance including but not limited to running the Server Cleanup Wizard (SCW), declining superseded updates, running the SQL Indexing script, etc.?

Have you cleaned up the superseded updates on the WSUS Server? There are many cases indicated that the issue is more related with WSUS database. I suggest to clean up the database first. Decline all the superseded updates and run the Server Cleanup Wizard to clear the superseded updates.

The below thread discusses the same issue and you can try out some troubleshooting steps from this and see if that helps you to sort the Issue.
